I'm putting my Batman Arkham Asylum armor project (http://www.therpf.com/f24/batman-arkham-asylum-armor-progress-update-11-04-10-w-halloween-pics-84723/) on hold to go back to building my wolverine claws from scratch.
I created a set a few years back which turned out well.
But now I want to make a new set with a more serious business end of the blades, if you know what I mean. I've started from scratch cutting and sanding a new blade out of 1/4" Bass wood and am pleased with it's current state. This issue I have now is, how to get rid of the wood grain. I can cast a mold, make a second blade and sand it out but I'd rather take care of it at this step instead of having to make two molds to get to my final mold.
My dad was saying I could use a primer sealer then hit it with a paint that would fill in the grain. What do you guys think?
